The Start of Forever
An excerpt from our civil ceremony
“When I look at Maria Grazia and Sean, the first thing I see is joy. There's a lightness between them, a happiness that feels genuine and steady, like two people who, through time and circumstance, found exactly who they were meant to find.
Sean has always had a playful, free-spirited nature. But what's been so meaningful to witness is the way he loves Maria Grazia. There's a sincerity and depth there, a quiet seriousness that shows up in his actions, in his presence, and in the way he speaks about her.
And Maria Grazia brings something equally powerful. She's intentional, caring, and attentive to the details that make life meaningful. She dreams big, but she also knows how to bring those dreams into reality. And Sean reminds all of us, especially Maria Grazia, that joy often lives in the unexpected moments.”
